My question involves criminal law for the state of: South Carolina
If I am wrongfully accused of stealing and told their is video proof, do I have a legal right to the video, to anything? - A past employer is accusing me of stealing merchandise, they state this as the reason they have yet to give my last check. I was fired roughly 40 days ago. They are saying they have video proof however refuse to either allow me to see the videos or to give me a list of the items they are saying I stole. They are demanding I give a receipt for everything I purchased while employed there and then and only then will he give me my last check and not file charges. I feel like he is trying to bully me into forgetting about my last check. He did not fire me himself but had another manager do it and I was told I would get my check the next scheduled pay day. I requested my check and he said he would get the check written and have the manager bring it to me. Later that day I text him (his preferred means of communication) and asked if he had gotten a hold of the manager in question and when I should expect to see her. He told me I didn't work the hours I said I worked and he would mail me the check Friday. Today he messaged me and accused me of the theft. He said he noticed it when he went through the videos to confirm my hours. He originally said he spoke to the police about it and if I would just admit it he'd drop the charges. As I continued to deny the claims he then said he had spoken to the police but had not given them my name yet and once again he "just wanted the truth." Now he says he wants the receipts and he won't file any charges at all. He demanded I bring them first thing in the AM to hand to him but I declined, saying I would prefer to hand the few I know I have to a police officer or investigator. He then demanded I send a cell phone text picture of the receipts at 1am.
I did not steal a single item. We were told we were allowed certain items for free and even then I often paid for those items because I did not feel comfortable taking them. On more than one occasion I purchased my own supplies for this position. I enjoyed the work but despised the employer. I'm not sure how best to proceed. I don't particularly want to deal with the hassle of having to clear my name in court but if it comes to that I will.
Any input or advice would be much appreciated.
